B777"Triple Seven"

The Boeing 777 is a long-range,wide-body twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The world's largest twinjet and commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven", the aircraft can carry between 301 and 368 passengers in a three-class configuration and has a range from 5,235 to 9,380 nautical miles (9,695 to 17,372 km). Distinguishing features of the 777 include the largest diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft, six wheels on each main landing gear, its circular fuselage cross-section, and a blade-shaped tail cone.

.Designed to bridge the capacity difference between the 767 and 747, the Boeing 777 is produced in two fuselage lengths. The original 777-200 model first entered service in 1995, and the 33.3 ft (10.1 m) longer 777-300 was introduced in 1998. The longer-range 777-300ER and 777-200LR variants entered service in 2004 and 2006, respectively. A freighter version, the 777F, first flew in 2008 and entered service in 2009. Both long-range 777 models and the 777F are equipped with General Electric GE90 engines, as well

as extended and raked wingtips. The 777-200LR is the world's longest-range airliner and holds the record for longest distance flown by an unrefuelled commercial airliner.
